Chicken Rolls with Smoked Fontina and Bacon image

Skinless, boneless chicken breasts are stuffed with smoked fontina cheese and pieces of bacon and browned. I fix these in my iron skillet. Makes an elegant dish and the flavors are marvelous! This is great with peas.

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 slices bacon
1 cup shredded smoked fontina cheese
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, pounded 1/4-inch thick
toothpicks
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Cook bacon in a large oven-proof skillet until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Crumble bacon into a bowl; reserve drippings in skillet. Mix fontina cheese into bacon until combined.
  • Lay chicken breasts on a flat surface; place 1/4 cup of bacon-cheese mixture on top of each. Roll up tightly and secure with toothpicks; sprinkle with black pepper. Arrange rolls in the skillet containing reserved bacon drippings.
  • Brown chicken over medium heat until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Cover the skillet and transfer to the oven.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

I couldn't find fontina cheese at my local grocery store. I used mozzarella cheese instead, and it turned out just fine.

The sauce was a little bit too salty for me. I'll try using less salt next time.

I found that the chicken rolls were a little bit dry. I think I'll try using a different cooking method next time.
